Thanks for your opinion Bookm. I agree there should be a different statute as in this situation there is less than $1000(most of it painting costs) damage. I can't imagine that everybody who dinged a bumper while parallel parking gets a ticket with three(or six) demerit points. Could it be so?

My partner was backing out of our driveway onto a residential street and collided lightly with a car parked opposite our driveway. There is only minor damage and she was the only person involve, yet she was given a ticket for 'fail to yield from driveway' contrary to HTA sect. 139(1). Is this ticket...
